Its hard to find an unmolested HF, you've got a gem there. But if the bodies beat to hell, I guess I'd just make it go fast.

Man I sold a complete DOHC ZC a while back for $50 to someone to use for parts. Would have been nice to sell it to someone to actually use, oh well.

I do have a good DOHC ZC crank still if anyone needs it.
